Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "It's pretty hot and dry here, not surprising really in this desert country. I arrived in Amman yesterday and headed down today. Picture yourself riding on horseback like Indy and his father following the curves of the Siq (a steep-sided gorge), which suddenly opens out in front of a cliff with the Treasury, a temple-like building carved into the red sandstone." Where's your friend?
2. "The jungle scenery is incredible here with temple ruins entwined with the roots of large trees. At Ta Prohm I can picture Lara Croft as she follows the mysterious girl and the butterflies through the ruins. Well worth parting with my riel, even at tourist rates, for a trip to this spot." Where on earth is he now?
3. "Here I am in a cable car coming down Sugarloaf Mountain looking for evidence of the fight between Bond and Jaws. I saw nothing obvious however the views were great. I could even see the statue of Christ the Redeemer." Where has he got to now?
4. "Where am I? Well, I've always enjoyed reading Jules Verne as a kid so I am at Snæfellsjökull to start my 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth'. The volcano itself lies on one of the western peninsulas of the island and they did some filming for the 2008 film nearby at Kaldidalur. I even managed a dip in the Blue Lagoon yesterday afternoon." Where is he?
5. "... and today I've been competing with the crowds visiting Schloss Neuschwanstein, humming the tune to 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' whilst fruitlessly looking out for the Baron's Child Catcher or, at the very least, some Black Forest gâteau." In which country can you find this castle (and the cake)?
6. "I thought I'd stop over in this densely-populated former British colony to visit the wreck of the 'Queen Elizabeth'. You may remember that it was a secret MI6 HQ in 'The Man With the Golden Gun.' Alas! It is no more. I gather that most of it has been salvaged with some of it buried during land reclamation near the airport at Chek Lap Kok. I guess I can go and check out some martial art locations instead." Where did the Queen Elizabeth get wrecked?
7. "The four Pevensie children only took seconds to return to Narnia from London. It took me a full day's flying and several hours in the car to get here to Cathedral Cove on the Coromandel. It is part of Te Whanganui-A-Hei Marine Reserve and is certainly scenic. Not a cloud to be seen despite the local name for the country - Aotearoa." Where is he?
8. "Here I am at Fort Ricasoli, built by the Order of the Knights of St John, where Russell Crowe did much of his 'Gladiator' fighting and for that matter where the streets of Brad Pitt's 'Troy' were laid out. I can look across the Grand Harbour and see Fort St Elmo, the prison in 'Midnight Express'. Fort St Elmo was captured during the Great Siege in 1565 although ultimately the Knights Hospitaller prevailed." Which battle-scarred city is this?
9. "I am enjoying a pint at the Guinness storehouse as I plan my trip to take in Trim Castle, the Blessington Lakes, Bective Abbey and Wicklow Mountains National Park. Why? These were all filming locations for that most-Scottish of movies 'Braveheart'. Which city is he in?
10. "... then I grabbed a quick café au lait and croissant on the Rive Gauche before heading across the Seine and ducking in through the glass pyramid entrance of this museum. It wasn't long before I was retracing Robert Langdon's steps when he was summoned to the site of the crime scene." In which museum did this fictional crime take place?
